October was a blast!!! We stayed super busy at school becoming better readers and mathematicians!!!! We have been learning to read words with long vowels and sneaky e. We've also been learning our math facts!
We learned all about fire safety and even enjoyed a visit with local firefighters. They told us how they get dressed so quickly for an emergency, showed us their special tools, and even let us sit in their fire truck!! When they left, they blew the siren really loud for us!!!
We have been talking about nouns a lot in class. We've been distinguishing between common and proper nouns, as well as between singular and plural nouns. In the pictures below, we divided our whiteboards into three sections and wrote the day of the week, our birthday month, and our favorite holiday----all with capital letters!!!
We had fun wearing our silly socks on Halloween and making a spooky hand. We even made a jack-o-lantern graph.
In late October we began studying about the human body and learned so much about our amazing selves!!! We made Mr. Funny Bones and a body buddy to help us remember the important jobs that different body parts have.
Our school year is now a third of the way over, but we have to focus more now than ever in order for academic, social, and emotional growth to continue to occur at such a rapid rate. The next few weeks leading up to the holidays will be a hectic time, but please make time to read with your child nightly. If you're super busy, perhaps there is an older sibling or neighbor who your child can read to.
Thank you for all of your support and help at home. I am truly blessed by your children each day!!!
